Bugs

Ever since my surprise spider out at Whistler's Rest I keep an eye out for tiny bugs in the soil and on the leaves. No luck today, just a few ants nests in the damp sand and a orange bug with long legs that scuttled around too quickly for my slow camera reflex.

When I was a kid, on the farm out from Denman, we did naughty things with ants nests. There were two types of ants predominantly: reddish coloured sugar ants with big translucent bodies; and, green heads, which were smaller darker ants with ... green heads!

We would take it in turns to run on top of the massive mounds of sugar ant nests, running on the spot until all the distraught ants came out the holes. Then we simply watched then scurry. We did not do this with the green-heads, because they had a bite that caused extreme pain like you would not believe!
